TAMPA, Florida— There’s a new billboard up along I-275 in Tampa that may appear to be a campaign sign for Donald Trump.
“When you drive by really quick it looks like Making AmericaGreat… a Donald Trump sign,” said local business owner Paul Asimiadis.
But the billboard located along the east side of the interstate at the Sligh Avenue exit wasn’t purchased by the Trump campaign or the Republican Party, but instead The Islamic Community of Tampa.
“Making America great doesn’t mean we all have to be the same. No, it’s the diversity that makes us so great,” said Aida Mackic of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
CAIR is one of the organizations helping sponsor the sign locally. She says the billboard, which includes a toll-free number and the WhyIslam.org website, is not an attempt to convert people to Islam, but rather a source of information for people who may have questions or concerns.

New billboards display religious message with a twist
TAMPA (FOX 13) - You may have noticed some new billboards showing up around the Tampa area. They display a religious message with a political twist.
The message reads, "Making AmericaGreatwith Love, Compassion & Mercy." It's channeling the Trump-Pence presidential slogan, "Make America Great Again." It's even designed to look similar to their campaign signs.
But, this is a different type of campaign. Underneath the message is is a hotline, 877-WhyIslam and link to the website, WhyIslam.org. The Islamic Circle of North America, through donations, is posting this message in cities throughout the country.
The sign posted at I-275 and Sligh Avenue is funded by the Islamic Community of Tampa. The idea behind the signs is to unite people of all different beliefs and dispel stereotypes through education.
"Let's start getting to know each other. Let's not let misinformation divide us," said Hassan Shibly, executive director of CAIR-Florida.

The website WhyIslam.org is aimed at educating people about the religion. It allows visitors ask questions, read quotes from the Quran, or set up a tour of a local mosque. Shibly said now, more than ever, education is needed.
"Over the last year, we documented a 500-percent increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes in Florida," Shibly said.
Using these billboards, Shibly said, the Muslim community hopes to curb hate crimes and calm fears with facts.
"ISIS is the biggest enemy of Islam," Shibly continued. "We have to stand united and not let them turn us against each other because that's what they want, ultimately."
Some agree with the message while others need more convincing.
"It's a good billboard. I like it. I hope it stays longer than some of them," said Martha Hughes.
"I don't care for it. If it represents promoting the Islam stuff. I don't condone it," said Steven Hughes.
The goal, Shibly said, is to start a dialog and keep it going.
"Let's just get to know each other and see each other as human beings," Shibly said. "What makes America great is the fact that it brings people together from all over the world that share all different beliefs, political opinions and even religions. But through out diversity, that's where we find our strength as Americans and that's what makes America great."

Billboard

A billboard (also called a hoarding in the UK and many other parts of the world) is a large outdoor advertising structure (a billing board), typically found in high-traffic areas such as alongside busy roads. Billboards present large advertisements to passing pedestrians and drivers. Typically showing large, ostensibly witty slogans, and distinctive visuals, billboards are highly visible in the top designated market areas.

The largest standard-size billboards, known as Bulletins, are located primarily on major highways, expressways or principal arterials, and command high-density consumer exposure (mostly to vehicular traffic). Bulletins afford greatest visibility due not only to their size, but because they allow creative "customizing" through extensions and embellishments.

Posters are the other common form of billboard advertising, located mostly along primary and secondary arterial roads. Posters are a smaller format than bulletins and are viewed principally by residents and commuter traffic, with some pedestrian exposure.

The current location of Tampa was once inhabited by indigenous peoples of the Safety Harbor culture most notably the Tocobaga and the Pohoy, who lived along the shores of Tampa Bay. The area was explored by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, resulting in violent conflicts and the introduction of European diseases, which wiped out the original native cultures. Although Spain claimed Florida as part of New Spain, it did not found a colony in the Tampa area, and there were no permanent American or European settlements within today's city limits until after the United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1819.

In 1824, the United States Army established a frontier outpost called Fort Brooke at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, near the site of today's Tampa Convention Center. The first civilian residents were pioneers who settled near the fort for protection from the nearby Seminole population, and the small village was first incorporated as "Tampa" in 1849. The town grew slowly until the 1880s, when railroad links, the discovery of phosphate, and the arrival of the cigar industry jump-started its development, helping it to grow from a quiet village of less than 800 residents in 1880 to a bustling city of over 30,000 by the early 1900s.

Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is a large natural harbor and estuary connected to the Gulf of Mexico on the west central coast of Florida, comprising Hillsboro Bay, McKay Bay, Old Tampa Bay, Middle Tampa Bay, and Lower Tampa Bay. The surrounding area is home to about 4 million residents, making it a heavily used commercial and recreational waterway but putting much stress on the bay's ecosystem, which once teemed with enough wildlife to easily support an extensive indigenous culture. Much greater care has been taken in recent decades to mitigate the effects of human habitation on Tampa Bay, and water quality has slowly improved over time.

The term "Tampa Bay" is sometimes used as shorthand to refer to all or parts of the Tampa Bay area, which comprises many towns and cities in several counties surrounding the large body of water. Local marketing and branding efforts (including several professional sports teams, tourist boards, and chambers of commerce) commonly use the moniker "Tampa Bay", furthering the misconception that it is the name of a particular municipality when this is not the case.

Trump is a native of New York City and a son of Fred Trump, who inspired him to enter real estate development. After two years at Fordham University and while studying at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Upon graduating in 1968 he joined the company, and in 1971 was given control, renaming the company "The Trump Organization". Since then he has built hotels, golf courses, and other properties, many of which bear his name. He is a major figure in the American business scene and has received prominent media exposure. The NBC reality show The Apprentice bolstered his fame, and his three marriages were extensively reported in tabloids.

Civil War About To Erupt In Florida After What Muslims’ Massive Sign Says That Popped Up Overnight

Civil War About To Erupt In Florida After What Muslims’ MassiveSign Says That Popped Up Overnight
Muslims in America are becoming bolder than they ever have before as the threat of losing their “religious rights” and ultimately control is imminent under new leadership. They were praised and protected for eight years under our former president and now their plan for complete domination over this country is slipping away. Fed-up with being feared after every terrorist attack, Muslims in Florida just struck back at concerned citizens and PresidentDonald Trump with a massive message along a busy freeway that cannot be ignored. Now, it’s only a matter of time before civil war erupts in the streets there based on what the sign says.
President Trump is a Muslim’s worst nightmare since he doesn’t make apologies for what needs to be done to protect Americans, no matter who it offends. With the constant chatter of concern for “Islamophobia” after any Islamic terrorist attack, Muslims in Tampa, Florida wanted to teach people a lesson and disrespectfully used Trump to do it as a backhanded way of getting their misguided message out.
In what seems like a joke, since the city apparently approved this huge billboard despite the anti-patriotic point it makes, motorists in Tampa were shocked to see that the Muslims who made this billboard are very serious about their message. At first glance, the sign looks like it’s pro-Trump since it closely resembles his campaign slogan and signage “Make America Great Again.” However, the Islamist hijacked it to send a message about their religion to everyone in Florida.
Downtrend reports:
“For ‘love, compassion and mercy’ call 1877WHYISLAM or drop by their website at WHYISLAM.ORG.”
“One of the sponsors for the billboard is the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR which has come under criticism in the past for what some say are views sympathetic to radical Islamic terrorism.”
It’s no surprise that the terrorist-tied Muslim group, CAIR, put up this propaganda as it seems to be their mission to make America Islamic and usher in Sharia law, rather than “great again.”There’s a new billboard up along I-275 in Tampa that may appear to be a campaign sign for Donald Trump.
“When you drive by really quick it looks like Making America Great… a Donald Trump sign,” said local business owner Paul Asimiadis, according to WTSP-10 in Tampa Bay. “But the billboard located along the east side of the interstate at the Sligh Avenue exit wasn’t purchased by the Trump campaign or the Republican Party, but instead The Islamic Community of Tampa.”Aida Mackic of the Council on American-Islamic Relations defended the sign and the message along with the reason they made it look like a MAGA sign. “Making America great doesn’t mean we all have to be the same. No, it’s the diversity that makes us so great,” she said. Mackic insists that the intention of the sign is not to get people to convert to Islam, rather, to be a beacon of information for those wanting to understand the so-called “religion of peace.”
Whether it’s to convert or not, one thing is clear, which is that CAIR and countless Muslims in America want to make people believe their rhetoric and accept it, so they can carry on with achieving domination.“The website at WHYISLAM.ORG appears to be less about educating Americans about Islam but converting them to it,” Downtrend reported. “The site even has a live chat function if prospects are really anxious to enlist and don’t want to wait for the literature to be mailed to them.”

New billboards display religious message with a twist
TAMPA (FOX 13) - You may have noticed some new billboards showing up around the Tampa area. They display a religious message with a political twist.
The message reads, "Making AmericaGreatwith Love, Compassion & Mercy." It's channeling the Trump-Pence presidential slogan, "Make America Great Again." It's even designed to look similar to their campaign signs.
But, this is a different type of campaign. Underneath the message is is a hotline, 877-WhyIslam and link to the website, WhyIslam.org. The Islamic Circle of North America, through donations, is posting this message in cities throughout the country.
The sign posted at I-275 and Sligh Avenue is funded by the Islamic Community of Tampa. The idea behind the signs is to unite people of all different beliefs and dispel stereotypes through education.
"Let's start getting to know each other. Let's not let misinformation divide us," said Hassan Shibly, executive director of CAIR-Florida.

The website WhyIslam.org is aimed at educating people about the religion. It allows visitors ask questions, read quotes from the Quran, or set up a tour of a local mosque. Shibly said now, more than ever, education is needed.
"Over the last year, we documented a 500-percent increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes in Florida," Shibly said.
Using these billboards, Shibly said, the Muslim community hopes to curb hate crimes and calm fears with facts.
"ISIS is the biggest enemy of Islam," Shibly continued. "We have to stand united and not let them turn us against each other because that's what they want, ultimately."
Some agree with the message while others need more convincing.
"It's a good billboard. I like it. I hope it stays longer than some of them," said Martha Hughes.
"I don't care for it. If it represents promoting the Islam stuff. I don't condone it," said Steven Hughes.
The goal, Shibly said, is to start a dialog and keep it going.
"Let's just get to know each other and see each other as human beings," Shibly said. "What makes America great is the fact that it brings people together from all over the world that share all different beliefs, political opinions and even religions. But through out diversity, that's where we find our strength as Americans and that's what makes America great."

Civil War About To Erupt In Florida After What Muslims’ MassiveSign Says That Popped Up Overnight
Muslims in America are becoming bolder than they ever have before as the threat of losing their “religious rights” and ultimately control is imminent under new leadership. They were praised and protected for eight years under our former president and now their plan for complete domination over this country is slipping away. Fed-up with being feared after every terrorist attack, Muslims in Florida just struck back at concerned citizens and PresidentDonald Trump with a massive message along a busy freeway that cannot be ignored. Now, it’s only a matter of time before civil war erupts in the streets there based on what the sign says.
President Trump is a Muslim’s worst nightmare since he doesn’t make apologies for what needs to be done to protect Americans, no matter who it offends. With the constant chatter of concern for “Islamophobia” after any Islamic terrorist attack, Muslims in Tampa, Florida wanted to teach people a lesson and disrespectfully used Trump to do it as a backhanded way of getting their misguided message out.
In what seems like a joke, since the city apparently approved this huge billboard despite the anti-patriotic point it makes, motorists in Tampa were shocked to see that the Muslims who made this billboard are very serious about their message. At first glance, the sign looks like it’s pro-Trump since it closely resembles his campaign slogan and signage “Make America Great Again.” However, the Islamist hijacked it to send a message about their religion to everyone in Florida.
Downtrend reports:
“For ‘love, compassion and mercy’ call 1877WHYISLAM or drop by their website at WHYISLAM.ORG.”
“One of the sponsors for the billboard is the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR which has come under criticism in the past for what some say are views sympathetic to radical Islamic terrorism.”
It’s no surprise that the terrorist-tied Muslim group, CAIR, put up this propaganda as it seems to be their mission to make America Islamic and usher in Sharia law, rather than “great again.”There’s a new billboard up along I-275 in Tampa that may appear to be a campaign sign for Donald Trump.
“When you drive by really quick it looks like Making America Great… a Donald Trump sign,” said local business owner Paul Asimiadis, according to WTSP-10 in Tampa Bay. “But the billboard located along the east side of the interstate at the Sligh Avenue exit wasn’t purchased by the Trump campaign or the Republican Party, but instead The Islamic Community of Tampa.”Aida Mackic of the Council on American-Islamic Relations defended the sign and the message along with the reason they made it look like a MAGA sign. “Making America great doesn’t mean we all have to be the same. No, it’s the diversity that makes us so great,” she said. Mackic insists that the intention of the sign is not to get people to convert to Islam, rather, to be a beacon of information for those wanting to understand the so-called “religion of peace.”
Whether it’s to convert or not, one thing is clear, which is that CAIR and countless Muslims in America want to make people believe their rhetoric and accept it, so they can carry on with achieving domination.“The website at WHYISLAM.ORG appears to be less about educating Americans about Islam but converting them to it,” Downtrend reported. “The site even has a live chat function if prospects are really anxious to enlist and don’t want to wait for the literature to be mailed to them.”

Paul McCartney Live At The Ice Palace, Tampa, USA (Wednesday 15th May 2002)

TAMPA, Florida— There’s a new billboard up along I-275 in Tampa that may appear to be a campaign sign for Donald Trump.
“When you drive by really quick it looks like Making AmericaGreat… a Donald Trump sign,” said local business owner Paul Asimiadis.
But the billboard located along the east side of the interstate at the Sligh Avenue exit wasn’t purchased by the Trump campaign or the Republican Party, but instead The Islamic Community of Tampa.
“Making America great doesn’t mean we all have to be the same. No, it’s the diversity that makes us so great,” said Aida Mackic of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
CAIR is one of the organizations helping sponsor the sign locally. She says the billboard, which includes a toll-free number and the WhyIslam.org website, is not an attempt to convert people to Islam, but rather a source of information for people who may have questions or concerns.

Trump-style billboard in Florida aims to teach about Islam

Trump-style billboard in Florida aims to teach about Islam
(TAMPA, Florida; 6/5/17) — There’s a new billboard up along I-275 in Tampa that may appear to be a campaign sign for Donald Trump.
“When you drive by really quick it looks like Making AmericaGreat… a Donald Trump sign,” said local business owner Paul Asimiadis.
But the billboard located along the east side of the interstate at the Sligh Avenue exit wasn’t purchased by the Trump campaign or the Republican Party, but instead The Islamic Community of Tampa.
“Making America great doesn’t mean we all have to be the same. No, it’s the diversity that makes us so great,” said Aida Mackic of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Florida.
CAIR-Florida is one of the organizations helping sponsor the sign locally. She says the billboard, which includes a toll-free number and the WhyIslam.org website, is not an attempt to convert people to Islam, but rather a source of information for people who may have questions or concerns.
“A lot of the employees will see co-workers praying, so it’s a question they may not feel comfortable posing to that person,” said Mackic. “In this way it opens a neutral setting for them to approach it.”
A newly released report shows between 2014 and 2016 there was a 500 percent increase in the number of hate crimes against Muslims.
“There is a lot of fear with all the terrorism and ISIS going on, but at the same time there are a good bunch of Muslim also,” said Asimiadis, who runs a gas station with his brother near the billboard.
“I do see the idea of cutting down the fears that people have. If they could do something to cut down on violence, sure I’m all for it.”

New billboards display religious message with a twist
TAMPA (FOX 13) - You may have noticed some new billboards showing up around the Tampa area. They display a religious message with a political twist.
The message reads, "Making AmericaGreatwith Love, Compassion & Mercy." It's channeling the Trump-Pence presidential slogan, "Make America Great Again." It's even designed to look similar to their campaign signs.
But, this is a different type of campaign. Underneath the message is is a hotline, 877-WhyIslam and link to the website, WhyIslam.org. The Islamic Circle of North America, through donations, is posting this message in cities throughout the country.
The sign posted at I-275 and Sligh Avenue is funded by the Islamic Community of Tampa. The idea behind the signs is to unite people of all different beliefs and dispel stereotypes through education.
"Let's start getting to know each other. Let's not let misinformation divide us," said Hassan Shibly, executive director of CAIR-Florida.

The website WhyIslam.org is aimed at educating people about the religion. It allows visitors ask questions, read quotes from the Quran, or set up a tour of a local mosque. Shibly said now, more than ever, education is needed.
"Over the last year, we documented a 500-percent increase in anti-Muslim hate crimes in Florida," Shibly said.
Using these billboards, Shibly said, the Muslim community hopes to curb hate crimes and calm fears with facts.
"ISIS is the biggest enemy of Islam," Shibly continued. "We have to stand united and not let them turn us against each other because that's what they want, ultimately."
Some agree with the message while others need more convincing.
"It's a good billboard. I like it. I hope it stays longer than some of them," said Martha Hughes.
"I don't care for it. If it represents promoting the Islam stuff. I don't condone it," said Steven Hughes.
The goal, Shibly said, is to start a dialog and keep it going.
"Let's just get to know each other and see each other as human beings," Shibly said. "What makes America great is the fact that it brings people together from all over the world that share all different beliefs, political opinions and even religions. But through out diversity, that's where we find our strength as Americans and that's what makes America great."
